This season, the Cabaret has already done several shows dealing with themes of the unknown, sudden loss and likely consequences of doing certain things in certain groups or culture. Shows with unusual structures and unpredictable outcomes.
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is another one of those. But, to maintain the necessary mystery, I am obliged not to tell you anything about it. I agree with the Yale Cabaret overseers that there is nothing to be gained by spoiling the show for those who have yet to see it at it two remaining performing tonight.
I can wholeheartedly recommend that you go see it if there are tickets remaining.
There is nothing stopping you from Googling the title and playwright and learning a great deal about the show. There’s a detailed article ab0ut what it’s like to perform the piece here. But where’s the fun in that?
I will let you know my own thoughts on White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, as well as some notes I sent on the playwright, later in the week, after this run has closed.
